Chapter 559 Pack Of Anomalies

Later that night,

[Euughh... I- I can't anymore, please let me rest!]

Rex is currently inside the throne room with a lunar light projection of himself in front of him, it's clear that he was creating an illusion of himself using the Lunar Dust Illusion spell. But it's still not finished yet.

Despite taking his form, the illusion still looks like a figure made of lunar light.

If Rex was just trying to make a normal illusion for himself then he could do it with a snap, but this one needs to be stronger than the limit of the Lunar Dust Illusion spell. Before turning human-like, he needs to make the energy inside of it at least reached the eighth rank.

Now the illusion only has energy amounting to the early seventh rank.

Amanir is the one that supplies most of the work in creating the illusion, the system said that Rex can supply energy into the illusion equivalent to a mid-seventh rank but most of the energies are used to form the shape of the illusion.

With the help of Amanir, he can reduce that energy expense by creating the form for the illusion.

Just like an empty shell that will then be supplied with energy, and they have been working on it for hours now. Rex didn't give Amanir any time for rest especially since he just ate the Light Ego which made him stronger.

[I can't do it anymore, I'm tired!!], Amanir complained inside Rex's head.

Even though Rex admits that he's being harsh on Amanir, he can't let him rest since time is ticking. But he knew that Amanir still has much more energy to spare so this is ridiculous, "A-Are you crying...?"

Upon hearing the sobbing sound inside his head, Rex can't help but asks in aghast.

No matter how painful the process of making this empty shell is, Amanir is a spirit that is similar in age to Devo. Way older than even Rex, and to think that Amanir is crying right now makes the veins on Rex's forehead bulge.

Rex even started grinding his teeth finding Amanir acting like a kid.

"I already gave you the Light Ego, and you dare to complain about finishing this mundane task?!"

"That was not part of our deal! Abuser! Bully!"

"You know what? I'm going to fucking work you to death!", Rex can't help but cursed before he attracts Amanir's spirit energy manually, he then points at the illusion before forcefully supplying it with more energy.

Being forced like a slave, Amanir screamed in agony but he was clearly overreacting.

For a spirit that only likes to steal the good things in life, Amanir lived up to his reputation of not wanting to do anything that requires him to try hard. This personality of his irritates Rex to no end, but he already assimilated with Amanir so it can't be helped.

Swoosh!

While supplying the illusion with energy, Rex can't help but frown seeing the slow progress.

'If only I reach the seventh rank in my lunar light side, this would've gone much faster', he thought in regret, but he can't do anything as there was no time to waste. Every passing moment he spent, his soul would be extracted.

Rex doesn't have any choice but to quickly find Ruston's family and pack members.

Although the situation is not good for Rex and Amanir, there's one that finds this situation amusing. Devo watches this happening with happiness inside of him, mainly due to the fact that Amanir is being tortured.

Just upon nearing midnight, Rex lowers his hand as the illusion shell is finally finished.

It has been quite a moment since the scream coming from Amanir has disappeared, but Rex is sure that nothing happened to him just from overexerting spirit energy. Despite his looks, Amanir is a high spirit after all.

With the illusion done, Rex takes out an item from the inventory. Refined Ice and Moon Lunar Dust.

The system has suggested this item to increase the power of the illusion to match his, Rex pinch a solid amount of the Lunar Dust inside of the small bag before he sprinkles it over to the illusion shell.

Rex did it until there was no more Lunar Dust inside the small bag, not wasting a speck of it.

After finishing the bag of Refined Ice and Moon Lunar Dust, he then touches the illusion shell that is now solid before engraving a rune on it. Extensive Rune of Mimicry. This rune allows the illusion shell to amplify the energy it will soon receive.

For instance, if Rex imbued energy equivalent to a peak sixth rank then the final product would exactly have peak sixth rank power. But with the Extensive Rune of Mimicry, the final product would reach the seventh-rank realm.

Creating an illusion stronger than his Awakened power is not possible, to begin with.

Naturally creating a stronger illusion requires the Awakened to become stronger and reach the next realm, that is the conventional way. Since Rex's lunar light element is still in the sixth rank, he can only make an illusion in that realm.

Only with the help of the items from the system can Rex make a stronger illusion.

'If I had time and more gold, I can buy the last recommended item, Rapid Mastery Elixir to increase my mastery over the Lunar Dust Illusion spell. But this will have to do, please reach eighth rank...', Rex thought before readying himself to cast the spell.

Knowing that the escaped Shapeshifter might create trouble, he needed to find it.

Rex would go to the Werewolf territory while this eighth-rank illusion, hopefully, will search for the Shapeshifter alongside the others and the green team led by Liliya. It's the most efficient way to do this.

Stepping a couple of steps back, he then aimed his hand at the illusion spell and chanted.

"Ultimate Spell, Lunar Dust Illusion..."

Swoosh!

Upon using the spell a ray of energy is shot toward the illusion shell before a blinding vibrant lunar light shines through the entire throne room, but it gets even stronger when the Extensive Rune of Mimicry glows in response to the lunar light.

Covering his eyes with his hand, the blinding light went on for almost a minute.

When it finally dimmed down Rex looks back at the illusion shell and finds it already takes the form of himself, it's like the exact replica of him from the temple of his head all the way to his toe.

Even looking at it makes Rex feel a bit weird, but it's no time to dwell in his thoughts.

'For the moment of truth...'

Rex's eyes glisten before he scans the lunar dust illusion in front of him, all he wanted right now is for the illusion to reach the eighth rank so that it can fight against the Shapeshifter that escaped from the war.

<Rex Silverstar>

Race: Lunar Dust Illusion

Power: Eighth Rank(Mid) - Extensive Mimicry

Mental: 6235

Strength: 27,000

Agility: 15,000

Endurance: 11,000

Intelligence: -

Upon seeing the stats of the illusion, Rex can't help but feel exhilarated inside.

Although the gap between his stats and the illusion is very far apart without him even turning into his Werewolf form and King Mark, it's still strong enough to be able to face the Shapeshifter. Its physical stats have decreased tremendously, no intelligence, but its mental stat remained the same.

Since the Lunar Dust Illusion is an Ultimate spell, there are not many restrictions for the illusion.

Despite being a weaker version and also retaining Rex's advantages and weaknesses, the illusion can also use any skill in Rex's arsenal with the exception of spells that requires mana that can only be harnessed by a sentient being.

But other than that, the illusion can basically use anything else.

Executor Slash, Alpha Bearing, Red Force, Berserker's Curse, everything aside from spells.

With that Rex is pretty confident that this illusion can fight against the Shapeshifter, even if that Shapeshifter has peak eighth-rank power. On top of that, the illusion will not be alone so it's going to be fine.

Nodding his head, Rex now can finally make his move, "I'll depart right this instance..."

Meanwhile, sitting on the sofa in the guest room.

Four people are sitting on the sofa with two being on the long sofa, another one on the opposite sofa from the long sofa, and the last one sitting on a single sofa. They seem to be waiting for something.

But despite waiting, they can't deny the fact that the room is strangled by tension.

Adhara and Evelyn are sitting on the long sofa with Flunra sitting on the sofa opposite of them, Gistella on the other hand is the one that sits on the single sofa. Everyone gathered hear because Rex said that he was going to hold a meeting at night.

With silence filling the entire room, the tension becomes even more evident.

Not one single sound was produced as the room is totally silent, Gistella who is sitting nonchalantly can't help but frown feeling that for some reason she feels uneasy. She noticed the choking tension.

Looking over at Adhara and Evelyn, she realized that the tension is coming from them.

Both of them are glaring at Flunra that is sitting comfortably giving the two of them a cheeky smirk, their energies are leaking a bit in response to Flunra's smirk. Oblivious to the situation since she's not there, Gistella looks at the three of them in confusion.

Feeling uneasy with the silence, Gistella turns her head towards Flunra.

"You must be the new Werewolf of our Silverstar Pack, nice to meet you. I'm Gistella, what's your name?", Gistella asks politely while stretching out her hand, she seems to talk more human-like as she was no longer stiff.

Probably due to the exposure to the Awakened Guards chatter, she learned a lot from them.

Upon seeing the stretched hand, Flunra looks at Gistella in confusion before he suddenly stood up and approaches her. Grabbing her hand, he then out of nowhere leans his face closer before he started sniffing Gistella's hand.

Gistella was quite surprised by this, but her face reddened when Flunra started sniffing her neck.

It also caught Adhara and Evelyn off guard since they had never expected something like this to happen, but when Flunra open his mouth exposing his canine fangs despite still being in his human form both of the girls moved swiftly.

Dashing straight at Flunra both of them punched him right in the abdomen and face.

Bam!

Bam!

Flunra was sent rolling away wearing an expression of disbelief, he stopped after crashing onto the staircase.

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't think you can do anything funny in front of us!"

Both Adhara and Evelyn shouted with a hint of anger, they can't believe that Flunra tries to bite Gistella despite already being a part of the Silverstar Pack. It shouldn't be possible.

Out of nowhere, Gistella stood in front of both of them blocking their way to Flunra.

"Don't hurt bim! I- I think it's just a misunderstanding", Gistella said trying to dissuade Adhara and Evelyn from attacking Flunra who is rubbing his face that got punched hard by Adhara, he even felt wronged from getting punched when he did nothing wrong.

Pointing at Flunra, Adhara then advised sternly.

"Don't get too close to him, he just tried to do something to you just now"

"You need to be careful around him Gistella, he's not a good person", Evelyn added from the side.

Hearing this Gistella can't help but smile wryly before looking over to Flunra on her back, "You... You're from the actual Werewolf race, aren't you? Sniffing and licking? No Werewolf uses that kind of greetings in this current era"

Realizing that it's a kind of ancient greeting, Adhara and Evelyn frown.

"My name is Flunra, I'm from the Radical Era. My apology, I'm not familiar with the current custom", Flunra replied while standing up, it was a natural greeting amongst Werewolves back then but he forgot that he was not in ancient times anymore.

Gistella can only sigh before she walks closer and stretches her hand once again.

"In the human world, we shake hands. I learned this from Adhara right there, nice to meet you Flunra", she said before pointing at Adhara who is already sitting back on the sofa using her eyes.

Flunra hesitantly grabs Gistella's hand firmly before she shakes his hand.

After introducing themselves, both of them also sit back down again with the same tension filling the air. Nothing has changed, Adhara and Evelyn are still hostile toward Flunra. But who could blame them?

During their fights, Flunra is a horrifying Werewolf. It's natural for them to be wary.

Silent covers the room again but this time Flunra can feel the black heart inside of Gistella that is subtly beating, he can feel and hear its beat, "What kind of Werewolf are you? I've never seen your kind back during my time"

"I'm a High Werewolf Fiend, I'm previously an Undead turned into a Werewolf", she replied.

Upon hearing this Flunra can't help but widen his eyes in utter shock, he knows that Rex can turn humans into Werewolves but to turn a semi-dead being like Undead into a Werewolf is unheard of.

Gistella's presence now becomes different in Flunra's eyes, "Werewolf Fiend..."

"White Omicron Proxy and Royal Luna", he mutters again while looking over at Adhara and Evelyn.

Although he has seen many things in the thousands of years of his life, the world has never stopped giving him a surprise every now and then. For the longest time, encountering Rex is the most surprising thing he has experienced in life.

"I have never seen a Royal Luna like her, Werewolf Fiend and White Omicron Proxy never happened, and their Alpha is a human turned Royal Black Prince. What a pack of anomalies...", Flunra mutters softly.

But out of nowhere, a voice seeped into his ears.

"Not a pack of anomalies, we're just the Silverstar Pack"
